PRINCE GEORGE — Another succesful healthcare fundraising campaign in Prince George put on by Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The #SafeatHome Fund was launched in March 2020 and support from various areas of the country started to arrive.
Of the many items funded were two Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy machines (CRRT) for UHNBC worth just under $100,000.
Spirit of the North says the machines are fondly referred to as “Thelma and Louise,” and were identified by Dr. Slabbert, department head for critical care, as equipment that would support best practices in removal of Cytokines in blood and reduce fluids.
